Thousands of animals killed today

Every day in the U.K. thousands of animals are slaughtered without being stunned first. When you buy meat from butchers and supermarkets there is no way of knowing whether it is from an animal that has been humanely killed. If it was compulsory to label meat so you knew which was from ritually slaughtered animals – then you could make a choice which to buy – meat from an animal that has been held down and had it’s throat cut and left to bleed to death or from an animal that has been humanely killed and stunned before slaughter.
